When Xu Can saw Qiao Xin looking at him, he quickly tidied up his slightly messy clothes as if by reflex.
Xiaoyao Hou, who had been staring at him, was surprised.
"Hey, what's going on today? You're always so unruly in the past, why are you paying attention to your appearance today?"
Even Hengliang, who was a beat slow to react, could hear the meaning of Xiaoyao Hou's teasing on his son.
Xu Can's whole body froze. His father was a loud speaker, and with his howling, his little action was suddenly exposed to everyone's eyes.
Xu Can felt uncomfortable all over and said dryly, "Dad, when have I ever neglected my manners? I've never been so disrespectful to my son as you are!"
The more he said this, the more Xiaoyao Hou felt that his son was acting abnormally today.
No one knows a son better than his father.
As a father, I know what kind of person my kid is. Just by spanking his little butt, he will know what kind of shit he is doing!
He can't even walk with his hands and feet together, and you still say there's nothing wrong?
His reaction not only stunned Xiaoyao Hou, but also Qiao Xin and others looked at him sideways.
There's something wrong with this kid's attitude towards me!
On normal days, he would have come forward to greet me, but today he was like a mouse seeing a cat. He was hiding from me.
It’s like a student who has done something wrong meets his class teacher?
"Xu Can? Don't you recognize him?"
Xu Can's body froze, then he ran over quickly, "Junior greets the old lady!"
"I haven't seen you for a few days. Why are you hiding?"
Xu Can stole a glance at Qiao Xin's expression and said cautiously, "I didn't hide, I just didn't want to disturb the old lady's peace."
Qiao Xin curled her lips and looked at him suspiciously: "Isn't it a little too late for you to say this? I've never seen you be so polite on weekdays."
Hasn't this kid disturbed her peace many times? Why did he suddenly change his temper today?
Xu Can couldn't help but swallow and tried hard to save his image.
"Well, old lady, I have turned over a new leaf and become a new man!"
What nonsense! How come such a nonchalant person suddenly becomes serious in such a short time?
Are you trying to fool the devil by burning a piece of straw as incense?
The other party was unwilling to say, and Qiao Xin was not a nosy person, so she did not ask any more questions. Sooner or later, one day he would know the answer!
After agreeing on a time for a visit with Heng Wen and others, Qiao Xin bowed, said goodbye to everyone, and returned to the mansion with his children and grandchildren.
The eldest lady and the third lady have been waiting for a long time!
It has been a long time since the Qiao family has gathered so many masters. The usually empty mansion is now full of the atmosphere of human life.
Nanny Qin and Butler Yu smiled brightly at the sudden happiness!
After being in the Qiao family for so many years, the master is always busy all over the country and rarely appears in the lively circles of the capital. It seems that his family has no backbone.
However, the Qiao family never lacked food and drink, never beat or scolded them, and provided them with more benefits throughout the year. Those who didn't know would think that they joined the Qiao family to be taken care of in their old age.
After dinner, Qiao Yunting went to accompany his nephews, while Qiao Xin lay on the kang and chatted with her granddaughter.
Nanny Qin opened the beaded curtain and walked in, holding a bowl of pork rib soup with a lot of red dates, longans and wolfberries in it. She placed it on the kang table in front of Qiao Lingyin.
"Young lady, you should drink more and nourish yourself well. Don't touch cold water and don't overwork yourself for the next two days!"
Qiao Lingyin blushed, still feeling a little embarrassed.
"Thank you, Mammy. Lingyin knows!"
Qiao Xin was very pleased to see this graceful and elegant granddaughter. The Qiao family's granddaughter had grown up, but she was kept in seclusion and no one knew about it!
She is graceful and elegant at the age of fifteen, and her beauty is gone!
The eldest granddaughter she had taken care of had become an adult from now on!
"Don't be embarrassed. Sooner or later, every girl will have this day. Menstruation is a sign of a girl's health. If it doesn't come, then you should be anxious!"
Such a big thing happened to Qiao Lingshu today. The reason why Qiao Lingyin, as the eldest sister, has never stepped forward is because her menarche came unexpectedly. She could only take a carriage and take the third lady back home to deal with personal matters!
Qiao Lingyin believes that her psychological quality is stronger than that of most women nowadays, but facing such a major event in her life, she still feels inexplicably nervous.
This was the first time she encountered such a thing. Without any elders around her, she was inevitably at a loss. It was not until she entered the mansion and saw Qiao Xin that she found her backbone.
"Grandma, I'm still scared. It's happened twice this month!"
Qiao Xin sat crookedly on the kang, reached out to stroke the lady's hair, and spoke in a gentle voice.
"Didn't Doctor Mo say that you are fine? For girls who are experiencing this for the first time, the symptoms vary. Some people can't stabilize for a year or two, some have stomach pains that make them unable to walk, and some don't have their periods at all.
Most women have a very short interval between their first and second periods, and a dozen days is normal. We will slowly adjust and it won’t be long before everything becomes normal again!”
Doctor Mo is a man after all, and he was evasive when talking about these things. Nanny Qin knew it but couldn't tell her why.
In this era, education for adolescent boys and girls is basically non-existent.
Qiao Xin took this opportunity to popularize common sense in this area to her granddaughters.
It was not that she was overstepping her authority and overreaching. Even if Zhang and Xu were to teach them, they would not be able to explain it clearly.
Maybe mothers will even tell their daughters that menstrual discharge is unlucky and unclean, and there is no way they can tell their daughters to pay attention to those things!
Qiao Xin told her granddaughter what personal hygiene issues she should pay attention to, what foods she can eat, and what things she should try to avoid doing during these few days!
The three girls pricked up their ears and were amazed to hear that there is so much knowledge about women's menstruation.
